George C. Scott Quotes:

Fast Eddie: What if I don't pay ya, Bert?

Minnesota Fats: You better pay him, Eddie.
Fast Eddie: So you figure you're still my manager, huh?
Bert Gordon: I'm a business-man, kid.

Paolo Maltese: And this is the girl, my fidanzata, that I am bringing home to meet my folks. Of all the women in the whole world that I can choose from to be my wife, who do I choose? An ignorant slob of a hatcheck girl who thinks Pisa - Piazza del Duomo in Pisa, Joey - is a stopping-off place between hamburger joints.

George C. Scott Facts
He had six children: Daughter Victoria (b. December 19th 1952) with Carolyn Hughes. Daughter Michelle (b. August 21st 1954) with Karen Truesdell. Son Matthew (b. May 27th 1957) and daughter Devon Scott (b. November 29th 1958) with Patricia Reed. Sons Alexander Scott (b. August 1960) and Campbell Scott (b. July 19th 1961) with 'Colleen Dewhurst'.

Scott and Marlon Brando played chess together while shooting The Formula (1980). In his Playboy interview of December 1980 (Vol. 27, Iss. 12, pg. 81- 138), Scott told Lawrence Grobel--who had conducted the famous interview with Brando for Playboy a year earlier--that Marlon was not that good a player. Many years later, Christiane Kubrick leveled the same charge against Scott, who was beaten regularly by her late husband Stanley Kubrick on the set of Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (1964) between setups. Kubrick, however, was renowned as a master-level chess player who used to hustle other players in his youth in New York City.

He joined the Marines Corps as a 17-year old in 1945, but the atomic bomb brought an end to World War II before he could see combat. After the war, he served time at Arlington National Cemetery. According to the March 22, 1971 "Time" magazine cover-story on Scott, this was the time that he began to drink heavily, as the grave detail was extremely depressing.
